Bone marrow transplantation for treatment of stroke

a bone marrow transplant and stroke technology, applied in the direction of biocide, drug composition, nervous disorder, etc., can solve the problems of neurodegenerative disease (parkinson's), neural injury (stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury) and bone marrow cell differentiation, and achieve the effect of reducing functional deficits

Benefits of technology

[0006]Whole bone marrow and cellular components of bone marrow have been employed (i.e. mesenchymal stem cells, MSCs; hematopoietic stem cells HSGs) to treat stroke (rat, mouse) and traumatic brain injury (rat). Cellular components of bone marrow were cultured in a special medium and in medium containing neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF). Cells were injected either directly into brain, into the internal carotid artery or into a femoral vein. Outcome measures were: double staining immunohistochemistry to morphologically identify phenotypic transformation of bone marrow cells and behavorial and functional tests to identify n...

Problems solved by technology

However, there has been no study showing that bone marrow cells differentiate into neurons.
In addition, there have been no data that treatment of neural injury (stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury) and neurodegenerative disease (Parkinson's) with bone marrow cells improves functional outcome.

Treatment of Stroke (RAT) with Intracerbral Transplantation of MSC

[0029]Description of intracerebral transplantation of bone marrow derived MSCs after cerebral ischemia in the rat: Adult male wistar rats were used in this study (n=28). Rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion for two hours using the intraluminal occlusion model. Experimental groups include: (Control) MCAo alone without MSC transplantation (n=8). Injection into the ischemic boundary zone (IBZ) at 24 hours after MCAo of Group 2. Phosphate buffered saline (n=4): Group 3. Non NGF cultured bone marrow MSCs (n=8); Group 4. NGF cultured MSCs (n=8). Approximately 4×104 cells in 10 μl total fluid volume were transplanted. Rats received grafts and were sacrificed 14 days after MCAo.

[0030]Behavioral Outcome Measurements: Behavioral data from the battery of functional tests (rotarod, adhesive-removal and neurological severity score tests) demonstrated that motor and somatosensory functions were impaired by the is...

Abstract

There is provided a treatment for patients suffering from neurodegenerative disease or neural injury including the steps of transplanting cultured bone marrow cells into the spinal cord or brain or injecting intravascularly bone marrow cells of a patient in need. Also provided is a method of activating the differentiation of neural cells in an injured brain including the steps of transplanting bone marrow cells adjacent to the injured brain cells and activating the endogenous central nervous system stem cells to differentiate into neurons. A method of treating injured brain or spinal cord cells is also provided including the steps of transplanting bone marrow cells near the injured brain cells and generating new neurons at the location of transplantation. A method of treating injured brain or spinal cord cells with a composite of MSCs and neurospheres.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a conversion of U.S. Provisional patent Application No. 60 / 134,344, filed May 14, 1999, incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a treatment of neural injury and neurodegenerative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of bone marrow cells and mixed bone marrow cells and neuro spheres for the treatment of neural injury (stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury) and neurodegeneration (e.g. Parkinson's disease).BACKGROUND ART[0003]Intracerebral transplantation of donor cells from embryonic tissue may promote neurogenesis (Snyder et al. 1997). Intrastriatal fetal graft has been used to reconstruct damaged basal ganglia circuits and to ameliorate behavioral deficits in an animal model of ischemia (Goto et al. 1997). Fetal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) transplanted into the adult organism or adult HSCs transplanted into an embryo result...
